Kurt Volker, the State Department special envoy to Ukraine who resigned last week amid Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Trump, reportedly met last year with officials from Burisma, the Ukrainian company denounced by the Trump administration as corrupt.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Volker met with officials from Burisma at a conference in September 2018 hosted by the Atlantic Council. A photo of Volker and an adviser to Burisma later appeared on the company's website.
According to multiple attendees, Volker met briefly with Vadym Pozharskyi at the conference, though it was not known if their discussions included Trump's efforts to spur an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, who previously served on Burisma's board.
